Manager Copywriter

How many people can answer the question, "What do you do for a living?" with the answer, "I help find cures for cancer." At LLS, employees take our mission seriously. Whether you work in one of our regions, are an accountant at the national office or a specialist in our Information Resource Center, you work each day on making our mission a reality: Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. Join us and give new meaning to the word, "job."

Summary: The Copywriter is responsible for bringing the LLS brand to life through words. This person is highly creative, believes in brevity, has an astute attention to detail, and when asked to think outside of the box, says, “what box?”. This role is pivotal in ensuring consistency of brand voice and messaging across all LLS-branded assets, particularly as we plan for the launch of our new brand in 2025.

As a valued member of LLS, you are eligible for a comprehensive benefits package. Our offerings include medical, dental, and vision insurance; life insurance; flexible spending accounts; a 403b retirement plan along with generous paid time off.
